HOT uses the OSM database/platform and therefore it has to adapt and follow 
OSM's rules. Nobody forces you to use OSM. Why don't you do something like 
OpenHistoricalMap and use your own database basrd on OSM software?

A mapper should be able to get an idea what has been edited at a given 
changeset without decrypting the changeset comment using an external service 
(HOT tasking manager in this case). Who guarantees that HOT tasking manager 
will still be online in 5 or 10 years?
